In a recent interview with Complex, Madonna detailed her music relationship with Kanye and revealed that she’s also planning to work with Drake.

“We worked together two albums ago,” Madonna says of her collaborations with ‘Ye. “He worked on a track that Pharrell produced.”

Madge explains that a conversation with West at a party led to the two working on her thirteenth studio album. West wanted to listen to the entire album and provide feedback, like Rick Rubin did for Yeezus, but West was only able to contribute to a handful of songs.

“He forgot that he had to do 20 other projects,” Madonna says. “So, he ended up only working on four songs. Then, we wrote another song together which is going to be on his record.”

When asked about the Drake track that bears her name, “Madonna,” the material girl says that the song is the “best on the record.”

“I’ve heard the whole mixtape and ‘Madonna’ is the best,” she says. “Ask other people. I’m not the only one who thinks that. Even Drake thinks that.”

She also revealed that the two are “going to work together.”

“Yeah baby,” she said. “It’s in the pipeline.”

http://www.guttaworld.com/aap-yams-dead-at-26/#commentsWed, 21 Jan 2015 07:36:59 +0000http://www.guttaworld.com/?p=9840The hip-hop world is mourning the death of A$AP Yams, one of the founding members of the Harlem-based collective A$AP Mob.

“Always strive and prosper. RIP Yams,” said a post Sunday on the group’s official Facebook page with a black-and-white photo of Yams, whose real name is Steven Rodriguez.

He was 26 years old.

“We bugged out on New Years, I didn’t know that would be the last time Seeing my brother,” A$AP Ferg, one of the stars who emerged from the A$AP collective, wrote in a post on Instagram. “R.i.P bro. We all love and Miss you.”

The group’s record company, RCA Records, said it was “shocked and saddened to hear of the death of A$AP Yams,” according to a statement reported by Rolling Stone.

“As one of the creative forces behind A$AP Worldwide, Yams’ vision, humor and dedication to the members of A$AP Mob will always be remembered,” the statement said.It wasn’t immediately clear how Yams had died.

Other hip-hop stars expressed their sadness and paid tribute to his life on social media.

“Rest in peace Yams. A$AP is family,” tweeted Drake.

“A.S.A.P YAMS should be remembered as a leader, an innovator and most importantly as an important part of NYC youth culture,” wrote Azealia Banks.

Rather than being famous for rapping or mixing, Yams is credited with masterminding the rise of A$AP Mob and launching the careers of A$AP Ferg and the chart-topping A$AP Rocky.

“Rocky’s like Luke Skywalker, and I’m Yoda,” Yams said in an interview with The New York Times in 2013, explaining their respective roles.

“R.I.P Yams, I love you brother,” Rocky posted on Facebook.

“You were the brilliant mind, you put us on Game, you changed our lives. You changed my life, you changed the world,” Ferg wrote on Instagram next to a photo of him and Yams kneeling on stage.

Yams was born to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father, according to The New York Times interview. He grew up on the southern edge of Harlem with a lifelong obsession with hip-hop.

“Yams is the hip-hop encyclopedia,” Rocky said in the article. “He’s no joke. That’s one person I can’t front on when it comes to music.”

But the award wasn’t just her first AMA or her first award of the night, it was her first award ever, she announced when she accepted the prize.

The 24-year-old Australian hip-hop artist won for her debut album The New Classic, beating out veterans Eminem and Drake.

In her acceptance speech, Azalea said she was particularly honored to be nominated with those artists.

“It means so much to me that it’s for best hip-hop because that’s what inspired me to move to America and pursue my dreams and that’s what helped me when I was a teenager to escape and to get through my life and to better times,” she said. “It just means so much that I can stand here against Eminem and Drake and come out with this. It’s amazing.”
Bringing T.I. with her onstage, Azalea also thanked him for supporting her.

Azalea also performed, twice, on the show, including a finale with Jennifer Lopez.

Azalea was the most-nominated artist going into the show, with six nods, and she went home with two awards, the same as the number of trophies Beyonce received.
